    • Claire Davies
    • Darling Dear - Jackson 5. This bassline is jammed full of Jamerson's signature tricks and techniques. Many hail Bernadette (Four Tops) as his best work, but if you want a crash course in his inventive playing style, Darling Dear is it.
    • Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Jamerson's playing often mirrors other instruments within the song, and on this one it's most notably the vocals.
    • Bernadette - Four Tops. Jamerson's greatest bassline? Some believe so, while others tip their hat to What's Going On (Marvin Gaye). Either way, his playing becomes just as much a focal point as the vocals on this Motown staple.
    • What's Going On - Marvin Gaye. With a main groove over an Emaj7 chord in the intro, Jamerson sets the tone for Marvin Gaye's socio-commentary: soulful, and with bags of feel.

    • Road Runner - Jr. Walker & The All Stars (1966) A hit song for Junior Walker & the Allstars in 1966, 'Road Runner' opens with a classic drum fill followed by eight bars of James Jamerson at his very best.
